About this map

The Missouri River sweeps across the southwestern corner of this landscape, anchoring a complex drainage system that includes Cedar Creek and Turkey Creek. The terrain north of the river is defined by numerous family and community landmarks, including Sheley Cemetery, Mount Zion Cemetery, and Meng Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians. Small water bodies like Lake Champetra and Charlie Howard Lake dot the map, while the name Audrain Prairies in the northeast suggests the original vegetation patterns of this Missouri region.

Transportation in this area is characterized by a network of rural routes such as State Hwy MM and numerous county roads like Co Rd 384. The settlement of Folsom sits in the northern reaches, surrounded by branches such as Big Branch and Clifton Creek. From the bottomlands near Gurwit and Lewis Lake to the elevations of Bump Hollow, the map provides a clear picture of the land use and property divisions in the early 21st century.
